From 20 March 2024, KTM will start taking pre-orders for the RC 8C.
Customers from Europe, USA, Mexico, Canada, and South Africa can pre-book the RC 8C.
Customers can opt for delivery at Portimao, Portugal, with compulsory purchase of the race parts package.
The handover at Portimao includes a personalised track setup session and a track day experience with KTM racers.
The RC 8C is equipped with an 889 cc LC8c parallel-twin engine, producing 135 bhp, paired to a 6-speed gearbox.
The bike uses lightweight components and weighs in dry at 142 kg, making it track-ready.
The RC 8C was manufactured with Kramer Motorcycles, featuring quick-release body and tank panels, and lightweight Dymag wheels.
The bike is fitted with top-shelf components like a 43 mm WP Apex close cartridge fork and a WP Apex Pro 7746 monoshock.
The KTM RC 8C features a 5-inch TFT screen with an AIM MXS 1.2 Race dashboard and datalogger with inbuilt GPS.
